Just spoke with Matthews again. Really impressed with him. Spoke of WVU’s top tier status as a hoops destination, and looks forward to helping across the board. He sees his versatility as his biggest strength.

He’s already developed relationships with McCabe, Doomes, Bolden and Sags, and is looking forward to coming to WVU in the summer. Hasn’t set a date yet, but he said it will be soon.

This gives Huggs great flexibility at all positions. I don’t see a player on the team that couldn’t be classified in the top 8 or 9 on most teams in the past. These guys are going to fight for pt. It may be that Huggs has a starting 5 and a 6th & 7th man and another starting 5 and a 6th & 7th man. AND guys that can play multiple positions.

Scary thing is that there is only 1 SR on this team. Although if Sags comes back he prolly will go after his JR year and Harler may be a SR Grad transfer.

Are McCabe and Esa really “locked in” to one spot. McCabe recently 15 for 15 in 3-pt shooting contest and hit 72% to win Beckley all-star game 3-pt. contest. Shot 3 well in high school and used his ball-handling to lose his defender. Esa played PF last year. As Huggs said when disappointed in Esa’s play, “He should be best PF in B12.”
